Sectoral Climate Information Services

Sectoral Climate Information Services (CIS) are science-based climate information and services in support of decision-making in climate sensitive sectors. The sectoral climate information services are essential requirements outlined in the Vanuatu Framework for Climate Services and designed and delivered by the Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project through stakeholder surveys and sector CIS policy review, action and communications plans.

Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal

Climate Change Science Services

The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal is a gateway to climate information services and tools, providing users with the science, mapping, data, videos and other resources to plan their adaptation actions. The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal was developed by the GCF Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project.
